British Isles

British Isles gathers the modern Justices and Presidents of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom (and its predecessor, the House of Lords' Law Lords) together with the Chief Justices and Supreme Court judges of Ireland, and a handful of twentieth-century British colonial judges who served across the Commonwealth. The United Kingdom's own Supreme Court, established in 2009, and Ireland's Supreme Court, tracing its own line back to the 1922 Irish Free State, anchor the group.
